Australian Extra Virgin Olive Oil is Fresh

Healthy appetisers for the festive season

Summer has arrived and the silly season is well and truly upon us, with Christmas parties and long summer lunches with friends taking over the social calendar.

If you’re hosting a summer party, or Christmas catch up this year, here are some simple, delicious and healthy appetisers to serve your guests – all made with fresh, tasty, Australian Extra Virgin Olive Oil (AEVOO).

Smoked Salmon with Horseradish Dressing

Christmas in Australia is all about fresh seafood, and a staple of many Aussies’ table is smoked salmon.

You can pick up delicious smoked salmon from any supermarket these days, but for something truly impressive, head to your local fishmonger and ask for a whole side of salmon for your Christmas spread.

For those who love to pair salmon with the spicy flavour of horseradish, try serving your side of salmon with this delightful and very simple horseradish dressing.

Combine half a cup of Greek yogurt, half a cup of Philadelphia cream cheese, a squeeze of lemon, a slosh of AEVOO, a tablespoon of horseradish and chopped dill to taste.

Serve with sliced crusty bread, or homemade crostini.
